All,
I feel in some way that I had to come to my own rescue concerning my decision to purchase/race/have fun on a Hobie 14. Life is getting too complicated and I have returned to a much simpler style of boat! Enjoy the post. Bob

I bought the 14 to have fun, race a bit on P/N, and race CLASS mostly down in central FL and to sail in next years' class national championship. After watching a lot of my old friends sailing them at the Mega, I got the itch to get one! As Cheryl Johnson said, "It's like being/sailing with an old friend". I couldn't agree more!! I've had an absolute blast hiking out and surfing waves again. Clive Mayo once said it was the pitbull of catamarans meaning if you could tame it, you could sail anything. So what if it has a 86.9 rating. It's a FUN and SIMPLE boat! Apparently, there is a MUCH bigger picture at work here than some can imagine!
